after two weeks of classes
Hey All,
It's been a crazy/fun/tiring/exciting/stretching first two weeks of class. I love my profs, the subjects are really stimulating, and I'm meeting a ton of people. The classes I have are: Christian Thought & Culture 1, Church History 0-1500 AD, Old Testament Foundations, and Intermediate Greek. I am really enjoying the fact that much of the classes are overlapping! History and CTC are moving chrologically parallel so much of what we are reading has to do with the same early church leaders, Greco-Roman cultural issues and religions, etc.
I think the most interesting thing I have been learning is how the early church faced so many different challenges and dealt with them: persecution, heresies, the systematic catechizing of the believer, church organization & structure, social & political evil, etc. I've been facinated reading about Ignatius, Polycarp, Tertullian, Origen, Gregory of Lyssa, and others. They were such interesting people with even more interesting ideas at times...
Well, I don't have much time to write right now but I will include a couple of pictures from the past couple of weeks. These ones are from the beach that is a 10-15 minute walk from me home. :-)
